Update 2: still a good place to vibe in Northside. I was here for a Harmony party with local DJs spinning house music (usually monthly).
Update 1: Always a good time. They also have non-alcoholic beers and a water cooler.

Very fun bar and even better when they have DJs. Check their Instagram for current events.
They have a cozy patio out back. Great service and friendly, so I always tip above average.

Tillie’s Lounge is one of our favorite establishments in the city! This bar manages to strike a balance that most can’t… it’s polished and well-decorated enough to avoid the “dive bar” label, yet still feels relaxed, homey, and completely unpretentious.
Drink prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere invites you to settle in and stay awhile. The bartenders are incredibly warm and kind. Special shoutout to Randy, Vince and Luna for consistently providing excellent service! The establishment is always clean, and the restroom upkeep is especially commendable, considering how tough it can be to maintain single-stall facilities in a busy bar environment.
Tillie’s hosts a variety of fun, themed events that showcase diverse and talented performers. We especially love their brunches and open stage nights—they’re always lively, inclusive, and full of great energy.
There’s a true sense of community and camaraderie among the regulars, yet newcomers are always made to feel welcome. The crowd is friendly but never overbearing, which adds to the overall charm.
Tillie’s is truly a hidden gem. As much as we’d love to keep it to ourselves, it only seems fair to share it with the rest of the city. If you haven’t visited yet, you’re certainly missing out. Stop by and support this lovely little establishment!

Vintage, Velvety atmosphere with lounges you can reserve. At 430 pm we were the only one there before the crowd hit I’m sure. The outdoor patio had heated lamps with bar stools and different areas to sit. Music playing and tasty cocktails. Street parking only.

I have had a lot of really amazing dining experiences here. Fancy bar, live music and performers come out regularly. I feel no pressure when I walk into a bar with every walk of life. A very human; very welcoming place.
Patrick is one of their best bartenders. You’ll get drinks that are poured correctly and have the right amount of alcohol. Quality and well worth the price. If you get top shelf please feel free to ask them to have the pour measured- they don’t mind.
Hope to be in soon. Cheers.

The atmosphere was not bad but definitely not my personal preference. EDM is garbage music to me but that’s just an opinion

Came across this place by accident… This place is wild… gilded thrones and gorgeousness all round. Nice outdoor patio area and friendly bar tenders. Place seems fun! An awesome find!

We went for their SOLAR: Sober Pre-Pride Day Disco event – and had a great time! We had a wonderful time dancing to DJ castle, the mocktails were delecious – and all the staff were kind, curious and respectful! I love seeing more queer spaces host sober options for a great time We will definitely come again

My wife and I stopped in to watch our friend DJ on 1/6/24. Great bar it was packed inside and had a very cozy atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly, I can’t rate the food since we didn’t eat. Bartender was nice and quick to serve us for how busy it was. Owner takes pride in this bar and is decorated very stylish. We would definitely return and recommend to give it a try. Little different kind of bar than we are use to but patrons were extremely nice and everyone enjoyed their time.

From someone out of town, based in Chicago, me and my partner had a great night at Tillie’s. We went to a couple other gay bars in the area and this was, by far, our favorite. The owner was there and was super friendly. Service was quick and also very nice. The crowd at this bar beat the crowds at the other bars, more inviting and felt welcoming. Overall, five stars for the atmosphere at Tillie’s!

Love this spot! Pretty bar with fun activities, like gay bingo tonight. Karaoke, theme parties, cool craft cocktails. They don’t serve food but are happy if you bring some in or get delivery. Perfect hang out spot. Dog-friendly and sweet patio.
